Your Nova looks awesome! My dad has his original 1970 Nova he had back I’m the 1970’s. I learned to drive stick in that car.

Attempted to build a package tray , didn’t turn out at all the way I wanted . This is from classic industries, I’m impressed with fitment.

That looks great. Almost wish I saw that before I installed mine. Although, I need to recover mine with the suede to match my headliner.

You are doing a beautiful job on this. Well done!

Cut the 3-1/4 in hole in the tank , safely filled up with water after cleaning and purged. Should do the trick. Tried the carbide cut, ended up having to use the cutting wheel to finish the hole.

Waiting on a few fuel fittings to complete the stealth install.

Nice ride !!! Hope to see it at a show or on the road soon. I'm up in Paso, so we will likely cross paths

Fuel update.
Stealth did not fire up, looks like tons of fuel is injected , flooding out the engine while cranking, I’m re routing lines in case radio frequency interruption/ emi. All sensors are a go , just has only cranked and not fired for more than 5 seconds and shuts down. I haven’t seen any change in the AFR gauge as I see ‘Inti’ while cranking. May be a bad o2 sensor. And will look into lowering fuel rates.

I need to check spark in all plugs I tested #1/2 wires. And I can’t really check timing until idle. I attempted while cranking and it’s not good.

Make sure your distributor rotor is phased correctly.

Are you using the spark control, if so the ecu seems to be even more sensitive to rfi /emi. If you think this is the case, you can try running a ground wire from the holley unit to you chassis, and you could also try sheilding your dustributor with some tinfoil (not the best looking, but may help you troubleshoot).

[Bobbywracing]

Thank You for the info, yes I had to many elements of RFi . The only thing that I didn’t change/ trouble shoot was my alternator .
I ditched the Hyperspark and went back to a MSD pro billet / 6al box. Fired right up after I adjusted timing a little.

Time for rigging & re routing wires . I pulled my harness apart many times troubleshooting, will be cleaned up soon so I can start putting miles back on the car.
